Sampath Bank has made a substantial donation of essential items to the Sri Lanka Army to be distributed at IDP camps in the north.

The collection consisted of rubber slippers in all sizes worth of Rs 1 milllion and sarongs, shirts, sarees, dresses and undergarments for men, women and children worth over Rs 2 million.

The bank said this was made possible by Sampath Team members donating ‘a day’s salary’ towards a fund to purchase the necessary items. The Sampath Management team also contributed Rs 1 million to the fund. The Sampath Team also pledged to award a number of scholarships to children of the soldiers for their educational purposes.
